The 848 was too slow.

What's interesting is that horsepower and torque have little to do with how enjoyable a bike is to ride. I own a bike 90 rwhp and another one with 65 (claimed) horsepower (undoubtedly at the crankshaft). Which one puts a bigger smile on my face?  On most days the slower bike... it just entertains me.

So horsepower and torque is really academic, since most people on this board couldn't even approach either the Ducati's or the BMW's performance limitations. And even if you could, you'd be a fool to try it on the street.

...and that's why I'm getting my giggles from a little RZ350, and still have a license!

I can and have on my Multistrada....it's taken pretty much no time to get used to its power.

Now the long travel suspension...still working that.
